[woman] We live in a world
where nothing can
be taken for granted,
Not even the air we breathe.
[somber piano music]
But our business is
preserving life itself
and our breakthrough formula
ensures that you are protected.
Breathe secure, breathe pure,
with AIRemedy.
Brought to you by Aethera.
[director] And cut!
Very good.
-[indistinct chatter on set]
-[camera shutter clicks]
Anything you want to change?
[man] No, she's perfect.
[director] Good.
[director] So next
we're gonna turn around
and sh**t the other direction.
[dramatic music plays]
[man] Day 63 Report.
Aethera's out of time.
When they start
rationing AIRem,
people will be desperate.
That'll be
our chance for a trial.
Increasing the dosage could
trigger a fatal immune response.
But there's going
to be so many losses.
Might as well be for science.
[gadget whirring, beeping]
[voice] Attention.
Emergency Toxin Alert.
The last remaining
Green Zone has been
elevated to Orange status.
68% of the world population
now inhabit Red Zones.
Projections show
that within the next 18 months,
83% of the population will be at
risk of lethal toxin exposure.
Protect yourselves.
Take your AIRem.
Wear your masks.
-Thank you.
-There goes the planet.
We're all going
to be sl*ves to Aethera.
Not if I can help it.
You know we're been watched?
Hopefully it's just the cops.
There's a new party
drug called Blue.
Color yours the same way.
If we get raided,
they won't think to test it.
You expect them to believe
I have a side hustle?
How else can
we afford AIRemedy?
People take things
at face value.
Play the part,
they won't look deeper.
You're great, but these ads
don't work on my mother.
She doesn't trust them.
I keep telling her
she's got to take AIRem, but--
Brace yourself.
She's convinced it's all part of
some Big Pharma conspiracy.
Great, then we'll both
have moms who chose to die.
-Jesus, Ella.
-It's true, isn't it?
Her body, her choice?
You still dating
the trust fund kid?
Yeah.
You're usually bored by now.
Usually.
Looks like
someone's finally good
enough for Miss Ella McPhee.
[photographer] Wow,
you look just like her.
Remarkable.
Angle your arm.
Now more chest. Great.
I got to sh**t her
a few times, and you,
you really are her daughter.
Okay.
-[urine hitting toilet water]
-[gadget whirring]
Sorry, babe.
Can't get you any more.
I gotta mission to the Flats.
Have to get cans for the party.
[footsteps approaching]
[gadget beeping]
[model 1] She was nobody
before her mom OD'd.
Her mom didn't OD.
She k*lled herself.
[model 2] Yeah,
about a year ago.
Better than dying
from toxin exposure.
[camera clicks]
[phone beeping]
[rap music plays in car]
[Tully] I'm going to
tell her today.
[Gina] You can't.
-Why not?
-It's the anniversary.
-Of what?
-Of her mother.
[Tully] Oh, sh*t.
[Gina] I thought you knew.
[Tully] You know she doesn't
talk to me about that stuff.
It won't stop.
Take your AIRem.
I sold my script.
That was dumb.
Yeah, we don't all have
our careers handed to us.
-[Tully] You okay?
-[Gina] She's my best friend.
I don't get it.
She's not all that good to you.
She is, in her own way.
She gave me this.
She knows I could
never afford one of these.
Yeah, but she never
lets you do your own thing.
She's grieving, Tully.
Look, she's not the only person
who's been through rough sh*t.
[phone ringing]
[Gina] Looks like a ghost town.
[Tully] They trade
their AIRemedy subsidies
for TVs and sh*t.
[Gina] That's so dumb.
-[Tully] This is it.
-[Gina] Here?
[reporter] ...atmospheric
toxicity in the Western Cape
is in the high 700s...
[Tully] Are you judging?
[Gina] I'm staying in the car.
Suit yourself.
[reporter] The following regions
were elevated to
Red Zone status.
New South Wales, Western Europe,
and the continental
United States.
The death toll worldwide is now
estimated to be 130 million.
Here in South Africa,
we've recorded over 9 million
fatalities, with the majority
of losses in rural areas
without filtration systems.
[eerie music]
[muffled reporter]
We did this!
We poisoned our air
with our mountains
of electronic waste.
Degrading in dumps,
leaking invisible decay.
Who are we to think that
there wouldn't be a price?
Fools!
There is always a cost
for wanton waste.
For gluttony!
We took everything for granted.
And now we face our retribution.
We will pay for
our digital depravity.
Our selfishness,
our arrogance!
It is judgement day.
The great purge!
That's you.
Yeah, but it's not like I'm
saving the world or anything.
They just liked my look.
-That's lucky.
-Yeah, it is.
I don't have
much else going for me.
At least you have something.
[gadget ringing]
[Ella] I'm on my way home.
-Where have you been?
-Sorry, I was in the shower.
You know it freaks me out
when I can't reach you.
-I know. I'm sorry.
-It's fine. See you at mine?
Is it okay if
we meet at Tully's?
Just because he's having a party
doesn't mean I have to go.
I'm not here just
to make him look good.
Well, dating him was enough.
-Yeah, it's getting to his head.
-Do you actually like him?
Like, legit feelings?
-It's hard to tell.
-Feelings are exhausting, Gina.
He's making me
take the damn train.
Right.
You doing okay?
It's just a day.
Don't make a thing of it.
Okay.
I'll just have an early night.
-If that's what you want.
-It doesn't matter.
-Have fun at the party.
-[beep]
[man] ...an expanding
perversion.
The toxins are here
to cleanse the earth,
-to save her from our sins.
-[subway rattling]
[indistinct yelling]
Only degenerates
defile God's will.
We get what we deserve!
It's our time to bleed.
And only the chosen
will breathe.
[Tully] Yo, Ebi.
-My man.
-How do you know where I live?
Tracking app, dude.
When you get a text, it locks
onto the sender's coordinates.
-Pretty dope, huh?
-What do you want, Tully?
-Forty cans.
-I can't help you today.
What do you mean
you can't help me?
[Gina] I need to pee.
[breaking news jingle]
In the past eight months,
AIRemedy has become
the most sought-after drug
in the world.
Joining us today,
Dr. Eric O'Connors,
head of research at
Aethera Corp,
who oversaw the development
of this miracle drug.
Doctor, how is Aethera
keeping up with global demand?
-Lots of coffee.
-[audience laughter]
Our labs work
around the clock.
All right. Well,
we've got our first caller.
-It's Jonas from Sydney.
-[Jonas] Hi.
Do I still need to
wear a mask if I take AIRem?
Masks reduce exposure,
but they don't prevent it.
AIRem, on the other hand,
completely
neutralizes the toxin.
Your girl always takes
so long in the bathroom?
[Jonas] How much do
I need to take?
Maybe she's taking a sh*t.
[O'Connors] Each dose is
effective for six hours.
[Tully] I'll go check on her.
[O'Connors] If you can't dose at
the same time every day,
we do recommend a mask
for additional protection.
I'll go with him.
[Jonas] How much AIRem
can you donate to countries...
I mission all the way out here.
and you're really
not gonna sort me out?
Is this how you treat
your best client?
Listen, bru,
you can't be here.
So I'll drop
the cans by you later.
Nah.
I'll just use someone else.
What?
[menacing laugh]
[speaking foreign language]
[reporter] Next caller,
you're on air.
[distorted voice] What can you
tell us about AIRem's origins?
[O'Connors] I'm afraid
that information is classified.
[distorted voice]
To prevent competition,
or because your supply
can't meet the demand?
[O'Connors] You must be
referring to the looting
at our distribution centers.
It's no secret that we lost
stock, but we are replacing it.
[distorted voice] I'm not
talking about the looting.
You are harvesting
AIRem's active ingredient
far beyond
its ability to repopulate.
[O'Connors] Between the cons
peddling fake immunity
and pseudo-scientists
cooking up home remedies--
[distorted voice] Why doesn't
Aethera distribute AIRem
to all the Red Zones?
Is it because you don't want to?
Or because you can't?
So many conspiracy theories now,
it's very hard to keep up.
[distorted voice] How will
Aethera produce enough AIRem
to meet global demand?
[O'Connors] We will increase
production threefold.
-[woman] Sure.
-[O'Connors] We're wasting time
for real questions here.
Thank you for your call,
Mr. uh...
-[distorted voice] Lazarus.
-[reporter] How biblical.
[distorted voice] No,
my mother was a Heinlein fan.
Ah, well there you go.
That explains
the distrust of authority.
[distorted voice] I don't
consider you an authority.
Your father, maybe.
[man] He won't break
that easily.
[distorted voice] Why are you
hiding the fact that AIRem's
active ingredient is
a limited resource?
The public has
the right to know.
I'm afraid we've lost
the caller.
[woman] I wonder how they made
it on air in the first place.
[O'Connors] We are increasing
production daily.
AIRem will
be available to everyone.
-[man] Bullshit.
-[reporter] Stay with us.
We'll be taking more of
your questions after the break.
[woman] Hey, don't push it.
You don't know
how much you need.
-[man] I'll take it slow.
-[woman] You better.
I'm not cleaning you up
off the floor.
[tense music]
It's fast, hey?
[commercial voice]
Are you falling behind on
your AIRemedy payments?
Premier National Bank
has partnered with
Aethera Corporation to
make sure you stay covered.
Our streamlined mortgage program
will refill your prescription at
only 2% interest because we care
about the health of our clients.
[woman] Are you done recording?
-[man] Yeah, upload--
-[woman] I know.
Upload and delete.
[man] We're low on amphetamine.
[woman] I told Ebi
to make a run.
[man] No.
I'll slip some from Aethera.
[woman] Like that's not risky.
I'm so sorry, doctor.
I don't know how
that one slipped through.
I, um...
[dealer] Here's your cans.
Who's that?
[speaking foreign language]
Rude.
[door clicks open]
You don't need
to wear that here.
We have a filter.
[Gina] That's okay.
We were just leaving.
[phone ringing]
I take it you watched the show?
[voice on phone]
I've been putting out fires
left and right.
Who the hell is Lazarus?
[O'Connors] Probably just
some doomsday fanatic.
People still believe them.
He'll be easy to discredit.
There's no proof.
Unless you have a leak.
I don't.
Look, I'll handle it.
The board is losing confidence.
Well, isn't that
why I have you, Dad?
You want everyone to believe
you're there on your own merit.
Time to prove it, Eric.
[beep]
[dramatic music]
[O'Connors]
What's happening?
Solomon hasn't left the house.
The only movement is
rich kids looking to score.
That's a cover.
Don't underestimate him, Shiloh.
Took you long enough.
Got what you wanted, didn't you?
More actually.
So then why
are you giving me sh*t?
You know you like it.
[electronic chime]
What is that?
A-- a burger.
You are aware
that cattle release methane,
and methane
exacerbates the toxin.
But the toxins...
are k*lling all the cows.
Right?
Right.
Drive.
[computer] Room sealed.
Safe to remove masks.
Hi, darling.
Sending you lots of love today.
I'm thinking about you.
And so is everyone else.
I've got three requests
for memorial pieces.
And guess what?
Zenith want to do a cover sh**t.
An homage to the one they did
with your mom and you as a baby.
How stunning?
They want to recreate
that pose of her holding you,
but with you holding
some memento of hers.
Maybe that locket
she always wore?
You have it, right?
But take today for
yourself, sweetheart.
-Call me back tomorrow.
-[phone beeps]
That went well.
This Lazarus guy,
-I need his IP address tracked.
-Already on it.
The alarm on this isn't working.
Who's the guard
on the gate tonight?
You mean Brian.
Sure.
Fire him.
[electronic chime]
I can hear it
loud as thunder
We won't go under
We were meant to do this,
it's a hunger
Follow the signs, follow
It will never be the same
We don't wanna be the same
Don't wanna miss this
[phone ringing]
I'm stuck in London.
The Health Department's
a royal clusterfuck.
How was the sh**t?
They only like me
because of Mom.
You can't blame people
for how they see you
if you don't give them something
else to judge you by.
Like what?
Well, that's something
for you to decide.
I presume you're going out.
I'm not, actually.
I would prefer it
if you weren't alone tonight.
Too bad you're off advocating
for the poor Africans.
We're all completely
helpless without you.
That's unfair.
All right. I'll go out.
Do lots of drugs.
Have lots of sex.
And you wonder why
no one takes you seriously.
[indistinct lyrics]
-Wanna try?
-What is it?
Some new fix.
What does it do?
Ella!
We'll have to take it
and find out
Where's Tully?
-Ella.
-Seriously?
How long?
How long, Gina?
Not very long.
You told me she wasn't coming.
She said she wasn't.
Ella?
How could you?
You don't care about him.
-Says who?
-You act like he's just a game.
You always get everything, Ella.
I thought maybe just once
I could have something, too.
Get away from me.
-Was this not enough for you?
-That's not it.
Then what is it?
-There was never anything else.
-You never wanted anything else.
Are you sure?
I will be right to you
I will be right to you
And together we can
stand up to the beast
You see, suppression is
a mother-- prison
So they hand you
the key to your cell
-[Gina] This is horrible.
-She wasn't supposed to be here.
We should have waited.
[vial shattering]
f*ck!
[indistinct lyrics]
[indistinct lyrics]
[indistinct lyrics]
[O'Connors] Your turn, Norris.
Testing synthetic
formula number 63.
Trial date: January 18th.
Toxin concentration,
120,000 ppbv.
It's equivalent to 60 days
of Red Zone exposure.
[computer whirring]
You've never
been into me before.
I've never been
this high before.
[indistinct lyrics]
[indistinct lyrics]
Holding hands just for fun
While the world's
spinnin' round
[indistinct lyrics]
She's never going to want you.
Never mind what
the outside will do
Never mind
You okay? sh*t.
[Ella panting]
Pretty blasted, huh?
I'll get you some water.
[sound distorting sharply]
Electrified,
I'm a [indistinct]
It modifies
the inside of you
sh*t!
Never mind what
the outside will do
-It's okay.
-f*ck off!
It modifies
the inside of you
[panting]
[glitching sounds]
[Ella groaning]
Result, ineffective.
Conclusion, synthetic replicas
fail to reproduce the
neutralizing effect of
Chlorocyphal consueta's
natural enzyme.
They are not
a viable alternative
to bio-organic harvesting.
[shouting]
[footsteps approaching]
-Yes?
-Everything okay?
Besides spending millions
engineering synthetic enzymes
that don't work,
everything's great.
There's still
the breeding program.
With cannibal larvae? No.
The space requirements alone
triple our manufacturing costs.
No governments can
afford to subsidize more
than they already have.
Why are you here?
I got the geodata back
on Lazarus.
-He was using a proxy, but--
-I don't need the details.
He placed the call
from Luxembourg.
I've sent you the coordinates.
It's late.
You should go home.
So should you.
Good night, Angela.
[indistinct lyrics]
[Tully] What's everyone saying?
[Boxer] She had it coming.
That's f*cked up.
Infamy has a price.
I wanted to end it weeks ago.
Too bad you never had the ba*ls.
I was gonna do it.
Sure you were.
[indistinct lyrics]
[breathing heavily]
[indistinct lyrics]
[electricity crackling]
Got you.
-Hello, Max.
-Hi.
Does your mother
know you're calling?
Today...
I gave money to the man
who lives in the street.
Why?
To be generous.
That's commendable.
But you can't give
your allowance
to everyone now, can you?
If you're gonna give it away,
you might want to consider
who deserves it most.
How?
How do you measure
a person's value?
How much they give
versus how much they take.
People are parasites.
Very few give back anything.
So if you're gonna help someone,
make sure you choose a giver.
What do you give back?
Longevity.
What about Mom?
[woman] Maxwell O'Connors,
who are you talking to?
Get off that thing.
Give it to me.
-Oh.
-Hello, Nicole.
Yeah, all right.
You didn't get back to me about
the bio-dome camp thingy.
What else is he doing in June?
We're gonna go visit my mum.
You're taking him to a Red Zone?
Yeah, all right.
We'll take precautions.
What's better for Max?
The top science camp
in the world
or two weeks with your mother?
Family matters, Eric.
So does a sustainable future.
I swear to God,
if you start preaching to him
-when he's down with you...
-About that,
I need to push
his flight out a week.
No, I've made plans.
Reschedule them.
He is getting on that plane.
No more changes.
You know what?
We'll do another
talk show about Daddy.
We won't, Maxie?
Yeah.
See how you like that.
sh*t.
[speaking foreign language]
Told you.
[gasping]
-Where is it?
-Where's what?
Give it back and we'll leave.
Look, bro, I don't know
what you're talking about.
[shouting]
You can't do this.
We already are.
I don't have it.
So, you do know
what we're talking about.
[groaning, coughing]
Wait. Wait, I did.
But I don't anymore.
Did you give it to someone?
-No, someone took it.
-Who?
I don't know. Someone here.
Search the house.
Whoever has it,
better not have taken it.
You have no idea
what you stole from us.
You f*cked up.
Don't cause sh*t.
Just look for symptoms.
What the f*ck?
[Ella] I took it.
Where is it?
I drank it.
What is it?
-Stay there.
-No!
Don't tell them!
-f*ck. Tully!
-I'll be right back.
[Tully] She's in here.
-Where the f*ck is she?
-No one's here.
-Idiot.
-Where is she?
I'm not playing.
She was just here.
I swear.
So you're telling us
this girl drank it all
and now she's just vanished?
[speaking foreign language]
Are you f*cking with us?
No, I swear.
She was hiding in the bath.
Come on, bro.
I can't breathe.
-Hey, ay, ay!
-Whoa.
That's right.
What you gonna do now?
That's a good question.
f*cking piece of sh*t.
You guys come in here
and attack me in my own house
and I'm the piece of sh*t?
The g*n is loaded.
The g*n is loaded!
Spider!
Take the f*cking g*n!
You are not going to sh**t us.
-Spider!
-f*ck!
-[g*nsh*t]
-[screaming]
-Spider, you alright?
-I'm okay.
-Are you alright?
-I'm okay.
You just shot me!
You f*cking shot me.
No, you shot yourself,
you idiot.
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
If you say anything to the cops,
I will k*ll you.
Hey.
[instinct]
He fainted.
[speaking foreign language]
-You should go too.
-And miss all the excitement?
She won't be functioning. She'll
have a high fever or worse.
So she can't have gone far.
Or she's dead in a closet.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Helping.
Cops! They're gonna be
here any minute.
Everybody get the f*ck out!
-The party's over.
-You don't have to do this.
No one else
is going to help you.
What if I'm wrong?
What if the drug doesn't work?
What if it does?
-How did you get up there?
-I don't know.
-Call the cops.
-They took your phone.
I don't wanna die.
You're not going to.
Why are you helping me?
What's wrong with you?
It's a reaction to the drug.
-What is it?
-I don't know.
You were going to
give it to Gina
without even knowing
what it does?
-That didn't stop you.
-Because it was yours.
I trusted you.
[screaming]
What's wrong with you?
It's just adrenaline.
My dad's gonna be so pissed.
Where are you going?
Don't leave.
Ella.
You mean like you did?
I don't care what it takes,
we have to find it.
[Spider]
What if no one took it?
What if that b*stard lied to us?
They're at
the bottom of the stairs.
I thought you left.
We need to find another way out.
What are you doing?
You can't break it.
It's reinforced glass.
It's thick as f*ck.
What the f*ck?
-No, stop!
-[panting]
We don't have our masks.
Here. Take your AIRem.
[glass shattering]
Tully!
Oh, my God.
-What the f*ck?
-I don't know what's happening.
-Come on, come on.
-I don't do heights, man.
It's okay. We'll fix this.
Go, go!
I'm right behind you.
Tully! Tully, no!
-[Tully screaming]
-[heavy thud]
[panting]
[Solomon] It was you.
You took it.
What is happening to me?
[Solomon]
How much did you take?
Get away from me!
-Tell me how much!
-All of it!
Please, come.
I can help you.
-No, don't!
-f*ck.
Tully!
Tully!
What did you do?
Call an ambulance.
You pushed him.
-I didn't.
-I saw you!
Hello?
My friend
was pushed off the roof.
[car horn honking]
[Boxer] Ella!
You gotta be kidding me.
You know, I try to help you...
but you tell me to f*ck off.
Except you're tripping ba*ls
and who comes
to the rescue, huh?
Tully! Oh, no, no.
Not Tully.
Me.
-[Solomon] CAA912.
-[Spider] 823.
-[Solomon] Can you track it?
-[Spider] Have you met me?
-[sirens wailing]
-[indistinct police dispatch]
-And she was angry with him?
-[Gina] Yes, with both of us,
but I never thought...
[detective] It's okay.
You said she ran away because
she was being chased.
-By who?
-[Gina] Dealers.
-[O'Connors] Well?
-[Shiloh] We've got a situation.
What kind of situation?
Solomon's after some girl.
-The cops are involved.
-I'll handle the police.
What are you doing?
-Just give it a chance.
-No!
f*ck! f*ck!
-You cut me!
-I didn't!
What the f*ck
is wrong with you?
-I don't know.
-Crazy b*tch!
I told you to stop!
Stay the f*ck away from me!
[gasping]
[squelching sound]
Ah!
Oh.
[automated voice]
Warning. Doors opening.
Keep masks on in
non-pressurized zones.
Excuse me, I need help.
-How's your breathing?
-It's fine.
I'm having a reaction
to a drug.
What did you take?
I don't know.
[patient] A little help here.
-You're gonna have to wait.
-Can you just look?
You can breathe. We'll work up
to you when we can.
Please!
You need to be quarantined.
I'm not sick!
-This is from the drug!
-Security!
Security!
[gasping]
[guard] Stop!
[exclaiming]
[yelping]
[squelching sound]
Have you
come to take me?
Where?
Up there.
No.
Oh.
You're from the other place,
aren't you?
No.
You're going to get better.
The doctor said that they
didn't have enough medicine.
Take these.
I promise I'll be good.
You don't have to come back.
[ambient traffic sounds]
Commissioner.
Here's the statement of
the girl who saw him fall.
The others were his dealers.
And the one that went after,
that's his ex.
Apparently she pushed him.
Do we know why they chased her?
No.
But another kid from the party
came into the station
about two hours ago.
So?
-Listen to this.
-[beeping]
[kidnapper]
I swear to f*cking God,
there was a claw
that came out of her skin!
-Were you drinking?
-Yeah, but I wasn't tripping!
Look what she's done
to my face!
You think that's the same girl?
Same description.
He doesn't sound like
a particularly reliable source.
His cut was deep.
Whatever she used
was real sharp.
Make sure nothing leaks
to the press.
My family's running low
on AIRem.
I'll organize a drop-off.
[intense music]
Gina! Gina, stop, wait!
[Gina exclaiming]
Stop it! Stop!
I know what we did was sh*t,
but you didn't have to push him!
I was trying to catch him!
I took the drug, Gina!
I need help!
There's something
wrong with me!
What the f*ck is that?
She was here.
[gasping]
[crying out]
So what?
Do you have a rash?
-No, it's not a rash!
-Then what's wrong?
Ella!
Are you high?
-What is this?
-Kudu.
You're a vegetarian.
All the buck on the farm
are dying.
My dad didn't want
to waste the meat.
What do you know about it?
-Meat?
-The drug.
Tully said
it was something new.
His dealers said he stole it.
[microwave beeping]
What are you doing?
They took Tully's phone.
They might read his messages.
Why would Tully steal
from them?
-They're probably lying.
-Maybe not.
We went to the Flats
before the party.
So you weren't in the shower?
[microwave beeping]
Did you tell Tully not to
respond to my messages too?
I would never do that.
But you were fine with
everything else!
You never like anyone, Ella.
How was I supposed to know that
this was different?
Because you're my best friend!
Then why can't
you be honest with me?
You won't even tell me
what's wrong with you now!
Oh, my gosh.
It could have been you.
Does it hurt?
Other things hurt worse.
I fell for him, Ella.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Then why couldn't you be honest
with me?
I wanted to.
-But I am tired, Ella.
-Tired of what?
You get so much attention, but
you're still always miserable.
Because it's all fake!
Who I am doesn't matter!
Nobody actually likes me!
You're the only one
who ever did!
I still do.
But you hurt people, Ella.
You hurt them.
You don't know what it's like
to have the one person
who truly loves you
decide you aren't worth
sticking around for.
-She was sick.
-You're not!
This is not the same thing!
You said you were tired of me!
I'll get you a new one.
[phone ringing]
Don't answer.
Hello?
[Solomon] Have you shown anyone
what's happening to you?
I wouldn't let anyone
see me like this.
How do I fix it?
There has to be
an antidote or something.
It's not that simple.
-We need to meet.
-Somewhere public.
-The silos.
-Be there at three.
Come alone,
or I won't help you.
-I'm calling the police.
-No!
You heard what he said!
Are you afraid of me?
I'm not a monster.
[elevator dinging]
[signal sounding]
-[O'Connors] Well?
-[personnel] He's long gone.
He left you something.
[Lazarus] You've done
a good job, branding Aethera.
Humanity's savior.
No need to cause global panic.
It would be dangerous
to disclose
how finite AIRemedy truly is.
You'd lose support.
Aethera's shareholders
wouldn't want that.
You wouldn't want that either,
would you?
Alternative solutions mean
you don't get to play God.
[phone beeping]
I could, uh,
track Tully's phone.
He said he only
gave that to me.
He said anything to try
to make you happy, Ella.
People always think there needs
to be a reason for darkness.
Maybe there doesn't.
Maybe it's just in me.
And now it's all coming out.
What is there to like now?
Once this is all over, I don't
want anything to do with you.
[Gina] Okay.
[computer beeping]
[instructor] Now focus
on your breathing.
Feel your connection
to the earth.
You are a part of the world.
The world is a part of you.
[gong sounding]
Am I interrupting?
[chairman]
Depends what you have to say.
Lazarus called in from
a hot desk in Luxembourg.
Let me know when you
actually find him.
So I shouldn't report progress?
Don't need details,
just results.
-Of course.
-The board want me to fly in.
They're concerned about
your lack of progress.
We've engineered 63 synthetic
formulas in five months.
None of them work.
Does she need to be here?
Get out.
Namaste.
What we harvest is far more
complex than anything
you can create in a lab,
and my report shows that.
If synthetic AIRem
wasn't going to be viable,
you never should
have suggested the trials.
We had to try.
And undermine your credibility?
They've lost faith
in you, Eric.
I'm pursuing a solution.
I just need more time.
How much?
A few weeks.
-I land in three days.
-No.
-Max will be here.
-Reschedule his visit.
I have to see my son.
Nicole threatened another
spectacle, didn't she?
You bred with that woman.
Like you haven't
made that mistake.
Oh, I have.
But they had pedigree.
I don't know who you are,
and I don't care.
-I just want to stop this.
-That all?
I can't think
of anything else urgent.
-Are you alone?
-What does it look like?
-[Ella] No!
-[Spider] Nap time.
[phone beeping]
[Spider] Her mask was
pretty useless.
Chloroform has smaller molecules
than the toxin.
Look at us.
We're the greatest species
on Earth
and we're dropping like flies.
Come on, come on, come on!
[personnel] Sir?
I want you to bring Sol in.
He hasn't come back
to the house.
Your job is to track him.
I'm sending in the team.
I want everything in that
drug den bagged and labeled.
Everything.
[intense music]
-Jesus, her legs.
-She needs fluids.
Is there an immune reaction?
If there was,
she'd be dead by now.
[gasping]
[grunting]
[squelching sound]
Ow!
We need to get her to Lazarus.
[Solomon] She won't agree.
-It isn't safe anywhere.
-And if we tell her...
So she can go straight
to the police.
What do you think
Aethera would do then?
-We can't trust her.
-We just need to get her
on a plane.
I can hack airline bookings.
-Since when can you do that?
-How do you think
I got into a Green Zone
for Christmas?
-Whoa!
-Oh, sh*t.
What do you want with me?
You need to calm down.
There are spikes
growing out of my skin
and I've been eating raw meat
like it's f*cking ice cream!
You need it!
Your body's metabolizing
at an abnormal rate.
-Sure, everyone's a scientist.
-He actually is.
-Ah!
-Get away from me!
Christ, it burns!
I can't feel my hand.
You think it's okay
to experiment on people?
Go, go, go!
[indistinct dispatch]
-Police, open up!
-Come on, let's go!
-Stop it!
-You can't leave her!
-Yes, you can.
-No!
It's the last one.
Keep it safe. Go. Go!
Get away from me!
They can't see you like this!
Why not?
Don't you want to show off
-what your drug can do?
-Break it!
Freeze!
Hands in the air!
Drop your weapon!
I'm talking to you! Drop it!
Are you Ella McPhee?
-Yes!
-You're under arrest!
What? Why?
For the as*ault on
Bryan Boxtram.
No! That was self-defense!
-And the death of Tully Cox.
-I was trying to catch him!
Sir, there's a lab
in the garage.
Who is this guy?
Is he your dealer?
-No!
-Cuff him!
[Ella roaring]
[officer] Move!
[Ella panting]
Gina! Gina, tell them
I didn't do anything!
Tell them I didn't do anything!
[Gina] I'm sorry.
I didn't touch him, Gina!
[roaring] Gina!
-Gina!
-[officer] Get in.
-I'm not that person!
-Sit down!
You know I'm not that person!
[Gina] I don't know anymore.
Let's move out!
[phone beeping]
Commissioner.
We've got them in custody.
She says he kidnapped her.
Good. And Loya...
There can't be any records.
No official reports.
My cousins are in London.
The EU subsidy doesn't
cover them.
Send me their address.
She look weird to you?
No, man.
She's just a druggie.
Eish.
[breathing heavily]
Ella?
You've taken the only thing
people liked about me.
You've turned me into a monster.
That's not true.
-Look at me!
-In two years,
the entire world is going
to be dependent on AIRem.
What happens to all the people
who can't get it?
-They'll die.
-Exactly.
What if you could change that?
With what, my magic spikes?
[door unlocking]
How'd you find me?
[O'Connors]
We track all our scientists.
This is all a mistake.
-I'm sure it is.
-[Ella] Hey!
You can't let him go!
He's making a bad drug!
She's a high out of her mind.
Thinks I'm a dealer.
That's bullshit!
Open the door, please.
Tell me about this drug.
It's done things to me.
Like what?
Do you know who I am?
You run Aethera.
I was in your last ad campaign.
If what you're saying is true...
then he will be held
accountable.
Let her out, please.
Come with me.
I'll get you the help you need.
Careful who you trust.
So, Ella, we're gonna have
to take some biopsies.
Is this where you make AIRem?
Yes, this is
our research facility.
State-of-the-art.
I'm going to give you
an anesthetic.
Will you roll up your sleeve?
I should call my dad.
Well, can I run
some tests first?
I can't help you if
I don't know what's happening.
Okay. Do you want to lie back?
Very good.
All right. Well done.
Round two.
Fight!
Check my Bruce Lee stance,
huh? Huh?
Sol's in trouble.
What kind of trouble?
The bad kind.
[doctor] She's metabolising
20% faster than normal.
And low on neutrophils.
Still doesn't explain
the growths.
[O'Connors] Put her back under.
Some of her tissue
is definitely foreign.
[O'Connors] Run PCRs.
Sequence her entire genome.
I want to know
what's causing these mutations.
[indistinct lyrics]
[electronic chiming]
You're going to want
to see this.
Well?
This is a section of her DNA.
And here, this is the same
section of normal DNA.
These strands should be
identical, but they are not.
Whatever we're looking at,
it's not human.
Cross-reference
her genetic abnormalities with
the genome sequence
from Chlorocyphal consueta.
Jillian, bring up
that sequence and run a scan.
What you're thinking,
it's not possible.
The stress response alone
would k*ll her.
It's a match.
Looks like you were wrong.
Let's find out how he did it.
[Solomon breathing heavily]
All you need to do is talk.
f*ck you.
[coughing]
Would you really rather drown
than share your work?
[Solomon] f*ck you.
All right, let's see.
Clinical misconduct,
involuntary use of
human test subjects,
unauthorized application of
confidential data,
and the theft of $430,000 worth
of samples and equipment.
That's quite the list.
If you knew I was stealing,
why didn't you stop me?
You're a biochem prodigy with
a g*ng background.
Why wouldn't I want to see
what you were up to?
And I wasn't disappointed.
What you've accomplished is
the achievement of the century.
And I get it.
But the rest of the world won't.
Who are you to speak for them?
People don't like change,
Solomon.
Certainly not change that
affects their biology.
All they'll see is a massive
human rights violation.
But they can't implicate you
for what they don't know.
Work with me,
and I'll make sure
no one ever finds out
what you did to her.
Where is she?
-She's safe.
-You want to harvest her.
You created
a priceless resource.
And I'll do whatever it takes
to make AIRemedy available
to more people.
The people you choose.
Oh, stop...
Stop being so holy.
Don't you think the human race
has done enough damage?
Of course
we should be selective.
We owe it to the planet.
And what gives you the right
to decide who lives or dies?
Perspective.
We make the hard choices, so the
rest of the world has a chance.
There is no we.
Your drug wouldn't exist if
I didn't let you steal from me.
I should have you incarcerated.
Instead, I'm offering you
the chance to be my partner.
You share your formula, and
we'll save millions more people.
Aethera would still
limit distribution.
We stockpile for the future.
Our shareholders
are terrified that
there won't be enough AIRem left
for their grandchildren.
You can't fault them for that.
What makes their grandchildren
more important than anyone else?
The way they were raised.
The education that they receive.
The books they actually read.
They're not just locusts
who leech off everyone else.
I am not giving you the formula.
So you'll let people die.
How are you feeling?
Different.
You're very impressive, Ella.
How?
What's happening to you
is unprecedented.
Solomon managed to isolate
a gene combination that
can neutralize
atmospheric toxins.
I don't know what that means.
The drug you took infected you
with a retrovirus.
It's a delivery mechanism
to splice foreign DNA
into your genetic code.
Your body is naturally producing
the neutralizing enzyme
that we use in AIRemedy.
Your genome has changed, Ella.
I need to speak to my dad.
We've already
reached out to him.
But we just couldn't connect.
We will keep trying.
Ella.
Do you understand
what I'm telling you?
You're saying that
I'm immune to the toxin?
Yes.
I just wish that Solomon
had given any thought
to what people would
be forced to sacrifice
in order for his drug to work.
You were a beautiful girl, Ella.
You shouldn't have had
to give that up.
Everybody has the right
to a normal life.
AIRemedy allows that.
This is...
No, this is something else.
Are you saying
you can't help me?
Well, we might be able to cut
out the foreign DNA, but...
You want something from me?
People always do.
Ella, listen.
Your body is an invaluable
source of information.
If we can replicate
Solomon's formula,
we can use it in chimps or pigs.
And if they react the same way
that you have, then...
our supply of AIRemedy
would be unlimited.
Why can't Solomon
just give you the formula?
Because he thinks I'm trying
to steal his creation.
He doesn't see
the bigger picture.
What you've been through...
No one deserves that.
So I let you run tests on me,
and then you try
to reverse this?
Yes, you have my word.
[tense music]
[screen humming]
[dramatic music]
I need a white van.
You know
I don't steal cars anymore.
[man whistles]
But I do.
[keys jingle]
[computer beeps]
[chairman] You've gotta be
f*cking kidding me.
[O'Connors] She's been sedated
during exposure.
We couldn't have
adrenaline responses
interfering with results.
[chairman] Well,
what's the toxicity level?
Twice the concentration
of the Red Zones.
[chairman]
And you're telling me
that she's had no symptoms?
-[O'Connors] None.
-[doctor] She's awake.
[chairman] How does her
toxin resistance
compare with taking AIRem?
[O'Connors]
She's producing 20 times more of
the neutralizing compound in
a single dose.
If she's able to survive
the extraction procedure,
she'll single-handedly take
the strain off
the consueta population.
The board won't agree
to human testing.
Not testing, it's research.
If we can replicate her
mutations in another species,
we could create a whole new
population to harvest.
In addition to harvesting her.
As an interim measure.
Aethera's AIRem patent
sanctions ownership of
of the active ingredient.
Legally speaking,
we own anything
that produces the compound.
So, we own her.
Her father filed
a Missing Person report.
He's a British diplomat.
If the UK finds out
we have her...
She's wanted in connection
with the death of a boy
she was dating.
It seems believable to me that
she might choose to disappear.
And the police?
The Commissioner has received
a lifetime supply of AIRem
for her entire extended family.
-Hey!
-Jesus.
What extraction procedure?
What do you mean,
"if" I survive it?
The subject is agitated.
Proceed with sedation.
Knock her out.
But don't overdo it.
Hey!
Hey! Answer me!
[breathing heavily]
If we do this,
you will be able to make quota?
We would surpass it at
a fraction of the cost.
And secure future supplies
for top buyers?
If we can replicate
this mutation...
there'll be
no need to stockpile.
Angela, would
you give us a moment, please?
I want the security feed from
the last two hours destroyed.
You never showed me this.
I'll handle the board.
But you better be able
to replicate this mutation.
I will.
Or did you get
what's-his-name to cooperate?
Your little prodigy.
Where is he?
Solomon. He's in Block B.
Turning a blind eye
actually paid off.
Unexpected.
I'm canceling my flight.
Better not f*ck things up now.
I trusted you.
You can hear us
through the glass.
Remarkable.
I'm not here to be used.
Nothing about this
is simple or easy.
And what's more important,
your future
or the future of the species?
And that doesn't mean that
I don't want to help you.
But don't be selfish, Ella.
You have no idea
how long it will take
to replicate Sol's drug.
And we need to make
as much AIRem as we can.
You never contacted my dad,
did you?
Please, don't make this more
difficult than it needs to be.
Try not to freak
everyone out so much.
It's not helping.
She'll be ready for extraction
tomorrow afternoon.
Good.
[electronic chiming]
Stock delivery.
This early?
Just came in on the plane.
Boss says it's urgent.
You're mine. Come on.
[chuckling]
Yeah!
[speaking foreign language]
[sighs]
I should be sleeping right now.
[speaking foreign language]
Yeah, first day
and I already hate it.
Okay, hurry up then.
Sure.
Switch back to days then.
Yeah, but nights pay better.
Is this girl still out?
[speaking foreign language]
Who knows?
Imagine what her life would
be like if she wasn't in here.
Harassment...
Death threats...
[instinct]
Really?
People are capable of
anything, brah.
[intense instrumental]
[speaking foreign language]
[screaming]
Bam! Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Where is Block B?
I don't know.
Yeah!
[alarm ringing]
Security breach.
Security breach.
Containment level.
Where is Block B?
In the basement.
Take a right out the door
and the elevator down.
Just don't hurt me please.
[screaming]
They said you were beyond help.
f*ck your help.
-Hello, Max.
Hi.
Here.
You're my son.
You shouldn't be wearing a mask.
You're late.
Okay, let's get you
to the car, okay?
[electronic chiming]
Don't forget your...
Yes?
What do you mean?
What do you mean,
"She's escaped"?
She's heading for Block B.
[heavy breathing]
[radio crackling]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[alien growling]
[screaming]
[electronic chiming]
Holy sh*t.
Why won't you
give them your formula?
I want it to
be freely available to anyone.
O'Connors will do whatever
he can to stop that.
Aethera doesn't want
anything on the market
to compete with AIRem.
But look what it's done to me.
It's just side effects.
Just "side effects"?
How could this be any better?
Put me down and I'll show you.
[O'Connors]
How many teams are searching?
-Everyone on duty.
-No, it's not enough.
The current shift
should be able to find one girl.
She's not just a girl.
-Should I call the Chairman?
-No.
No, we find her first.
Max, this is Angela.
She's gonna
look after you for a bit.
Keep him safe!
-Where are we going?
-Back entrance.
You can balance on my shoulders.
Of course,
you've got tarsal claws.
-What is that?
-Most insects have them.
That's disgusting.
Pretty useful as far
as side effects go.
[Ella] Not when you're a model.
Come on, hurry up.
[electronic beeping]
Is this the Aethera Corp
complex outside Cape Town?
Good.
Yeah, there's a couple bombs
in your basement.
They're going to go off in...
nine minutes.
Well?
She attacked a guard.
-He's beat up pretty bad.
-Where is she now?
Gone.
The guy you were holding
in Block B, he's gone too.
God-f*cking-dammit!
All right,
I want everyone authorized
for confidential
operations here now.
-Okay?
-We have to evacuate.
-Excuse me?
-There's been a b*mb threat.
No, it's-- it's a diversion.
What if it's not?
We can't afford another attack.
Don't you tell me
about what we can't afford.
All right,
evacuate the building.
Just the building.
I want the entire
perimeter locked down.
How much gas do we have?
Enough for the building.
All right, give them 15 minutes,
and then gas them out.
Okay?
-Where's Max?
-In your office.
I thought you were just
another one of Tully's dealers.
You were wrong.
[loud bang]
-What's happening?
-Nothing good.
What is that?
AIRem's active ingredient.
-They extract it.
-From what?
Chlorocyphal consueta.
They're indigenous,
only to South Africa.
You turned me into
a f*cking dragonfly.
They're the only species
in the world
unaffected
by atmospheric toxins.
But Aethera
decimated their population.
And synthetic
alternatives don't work.
That's why
they want to harvest you.
Why can't you use
your formula on another animal?
People would still have
to rely on a pill to survive.
Aethera wants AIRem to be
the only solution, but it isn't.
-You prove that.
-Who would want to be like this?
Everyone's disgusted by me.
I'm not.
You look at me
and you see your own success.
Do you know where
I'd be if I believed
all the things
people assumed about me?
Stealing crypt and dealing tik.
You decide who you are.
People still
think what they want.
-So prove them wrong.
-It's not that easy.
I never said it was.
I'm working with
someone called Lazarus.
We want to distribute worldwide.
I'm sure many people
won't want it, but some will.
It's a choice they should have.
I didn't.
I'm sorry.
[loud bang]
Let's go.
[alarm blaring]
[O'Connors] Max?
Where is he?
[Angela] I told him to wait.
He's eight.
I'm so sorry.
Sir, we need to exit
the building.
I'm not leaving my son.
Why do you have a g*n?
-It's a tranquilizer.
-Eric!
[Ella] Wait.
Someone's coming.
-What are you doing here?
-Rescuing you.
-What happened to your face?
-They wanted the formula.
-Did you give it to them?
-What does it look like?
-Oh, f*ck.
-What are you looking at?
How'd you get past the guards?
Called in a b*mb threat.
-Seriously?
-Biochem is your thing.
Getting you out of sh*t is mine.
-[gas hissing]
-What is that?
Mask gas.
-We need to get to the garage.
-Let's go!
[coughing]
Someone's coming!
[light, panicked breathing]
Don't be scared.
I won't hurt you.
Did you get lost?
It's okay.
But you can't stay here.
Are you a fairy?
Yes.
Are you a good one
or a bad one?
A good one.
Where did you get that?
I found it.
The elevator
leads to the garage.
Let's go!
[O'Connors] Don't move!
Dad!
-That's your dad?
-Max!
-Let him go.
-Let us go first.
[elevator dinging]
No, not without the formula.
Trust me.
Don't listen to her, Max.
Stay very still.
You're dead.
Lower the g*n.
You don't have it in you.
Are you sure about that?
I mean, just look at me.
You run now, and you'll be alone
for the rest of your life.
People will only ever see you
as a monster.
Maybe they're right.
You could have hit him!
Perspective.
Go to your dad.
Get out of the way, Max!
[glass shattering]
Dad, don't!
She's a fairy!
[Solomon] Ella, come on!
Come on.
Quick!
He's reloading! Hurry!
[g*nsh*t]
Come on, let's go!
Jesus Christ, my nerves.
In another five minutes,
nothing will
be able to breathe in there.
[Angela] Oh, my God. Is he okay?
They're headed to the garage!
He tried to sh**t the fairy!
She's not
a f*cking fairy, okay?
Here.
I want all exits covered,
right now!
Go! Now! Move!
No! Don't sh**t, don't sh**t.
I want her alive.
Don't sh**t!
I want her alive!
-I want her alive!
-Yes, sir!
We'll pursue the vehicle.
[indistinct lyrics]
Jesus.
Move! Move out the way!
Move out the way! Move!
Move out the way!
[tires screeching]
[breathing heavily]
I'm alive.
I'm not dead.
Very much alive.
Let's go!
f*ck.
They're not here, sir.
-We need to climb.
-We don't.
It's not just dragonfly DNA,
is it?
[personnel] Hey!
Southeast fencing.
They've just broken through.
Full pursuit along
the southeast perimeter.
Go! Now!
You! Stay here and watch her.
I'm going to
get fired because of you.
No, man. I panicked.
The alarm's going off
everywhere. Explosions.
I didn't get
a delivery job for this.
I wanted a stress-free gig.
Boring sh*t.
[groaning]
I don't feel so good.
Jesus!
Hello. The driver is down.
-We're busy, Hendricks.
-Oh, f*ck.
Hey. Hey.
Are you all right?
Come on. Shh. Shh.
Take a nap.
Take a nap.
Come on.
Now you'll get fired.
Sweet dreams.
[Solomon] Ella!
-Come on!
-I can't outrun them!
There's got
to be another way down!
There is.
For you.
I'm not going
to leave you behind.
Everything that happened,
it should have been me.
You took it too.
I needed to see if it worked.
But I didn't take enough.
I was too scared.
How can I say this
without breaking?
Lazarus has the formula,
but needs this to
make more of the drug.
Aethera can't catch you.
They won't.
How do I find Lazarus?
Find her at the silos.
I was Subject Y.
You are Subject Z.
I loved and I loved
and I lost you
I loved and I loved
and I lost you
I don't need it anymore.
And it hurts like hell
Yeah it hurts like hell
Dreams fight with machines
Inside my head
like adversaries
Come wrestle me free
Clean from the w*r
Hands up! Don't move!
...fits like a key
Into the lock on the wall
I turn it over,
I turn it over
But I can't escape
Where is she?
She jumped.
Then you'll make me another.
You hate me now,
you hate me now
March 20th.
The Red Zones
continue to expand.
1.3 million fatalities
in the last week.
The global death toll is
at 90 million.
[coughing]
A simple taste
But Subject Z
remains unaffected.
Make it rain to rinse me out
In the cold I die,
in the spring I sprout
Either we change or we die.
My fire is wild
My rage is deep
-One black eye
-[Ella] Lazarus.
Hello, Ella.
[Ella] You're Lazarus?
Not who you were expecting.
[Ella]
I wouldn't have guessed it.
You didn't seem like the type
to start a revolution, Angela.
Neither did you.
But the cancer's deep
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
And when you lied before
You broke our tie before
And then
I tapped into a feeling
That I could not ignore
And when you lied before
You broke our tie before
And then
I tapped into a feeling
That I could not ignore
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Feel my fury!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
You really light me up!
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh oh-oh
Fury, oh fury
don't you misguide me
I need my wits
to set me free
Fury, oh fury
don't you misguide me
I need my wits
to set me free
Fury, oh fury
don't you misguide me
I need my wits
to set me free
Can you see
what I see coming
The way we're running, mmm
I'll wait
a lifetime [indistinct]
Follow the signs, follow
It will never be the same
We don't want to be the same
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't wanna miss this
I can hear it
loud as thunder
We won't go under, mmm
We were meant to do this,
it's a hunger
Follow the signs, follow
It will never be the same
We will never be the same
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't wanna miss this
Don't wanna miss this
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't wanna miss this
Don't wanna miss this
Don't wanna miss this
